The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

“I didn’t expect it to be so high-end.”

Lin Shen chuckled and walked in with Glasgow and Lafite.

This time, the high-end entrance to the black market is in a building that looks ordinary from the outside.

From the fifth floor to the tenth floor, it is the venue of the black market.

And there are quite a few people inside.

Although because of the large space, it looks rather deserted.

However, because the target customers are different, the transaction rate is probably much higher than that of the black market with ordinary entrances.

As expected, all the people here are Silver Wings.

Lin Shen casually scanned with his soul power and found quite a few soul developers - oh, if there are ship girls, they should be called commanders.

But many people didn’t bring their ship girls with them.

"Let's take a look at what's in the black market first... You two follow me and don't speak casually. After all, there are too many people here."

Lin Shen sent a message in the soul network.

"Yes."

"..."

After receiving the response, Lin Shen started to move around in the black market.

It has everything here.

The fifth floor sells only ordinary items.

For example, vegetables, fruits...well, these things can be bought in ordinary markets.

However, the transactions here are all in batches.

Moreover, some fruits are expensive and indeed not available in common places.

For ordinary people, this is almost equivalent to a monopoly.

"...I haven't eaten fruit for a long time...Let's buy some, it's quite cheap."

Lin Shen walked over and bought some apples, bananas and the like.

If it were before, he would have walked away at the price after just one look.

But now... I'm just buying it with my eyes closed.

The consumption feeling is quite good.

"Your oranges are so expensive? They have more zeros than others?"

"My distinguished guest, you should be very aware of the current environment. How expensive it is to grow such tempting fruits—"

"Okay, shut up, five pounds."

"Okay, the guest is really straightforward."

It feels so comfortable to spend money.

After the guy packed the things, Lin Shen handed them to Glasgow.

The latter threw it back into the ship's equipment space.

This is probably the reason why only a few people bring KanColle.

After all, the ship's space is quite useful... huh?

Lin Shen suddenly understood why those businessmen were so enthusiastic after seeing him.

It turned out to be the case.

The person who brings the ship girl with him looks like a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

In addition to fruits, there are many snacks on the fifth floor, which are hard to buy.

After all, the human territory is so limited now, and every factory has to occupy a place -

Naturally, snacks seem like luxury items compared to vegetables, fruits and melons.

"...On the surface, these things are prohibited from being sold. After all, most areas need to use them for higher-value things... If you try to secretly produce snacks and soda... you will be punished."

Now you can only buy it on the black market.

Really...

drop in the ocean.

Lin Shen bought a lot of snacks with a look of emotion on his face.

Soda, chips, and popsicles—

There are even popsicles.

It's outrageous.

Maybe it was brought here with the ice cream. Rich people like this kind of stylish thing.

The rarer and more expensive it is, the more it can highlight their status.

Although Lin Shen is not considered a "rich man" now.

The rich and the wealthy are two completely different creatures.

When Lin Shen was walking around the fifth floor, he felt like he was entering a large supermarket.

This should be a very common thing, but now it only happens in places like this.

"..."

Glasgow suddenly pulled the corner of Lin Shen's clothes.

Then a message was sent in the soul network.

"Commander, buy some meat, eggs and milk. Balanced nutrition is very important. I didn't have the conditions before, but now that we have enough money, let's buy them all at once."

"……good."

Lin Shen glanced at the meat selling area not far away and walked in under Glasgow's command.

When it comes to life, Glasgow has the final say.

...After a while, Lin Shen finally boarded the elevator to the sixth floor.

The style of the sixth floor is also very obvious.

This is where clothes are sold.

"Is there any difference between the clothes in the black market and those outside?"

Lin Shen walked into a temporary shop and asked casually.

"You may not know this, but the fabrics in the black market are of very good quality, and they can be customized."

The clerk in the store glanced at the two ship girls behind Lin Shen, then spoke to Lin Shen with a smile on his face.

"All kinds of clothes can be customized, and the materials are very good. As for how good they are, you will know once you touch them."

"Ok?"

Lin Shen was stunned for a moment when he saw the black stockings handed to him by the female clerk.

He hesitated for a second, and after making sure that the clerk in front of him had a normal expression, Lin Shen reached out and touched it.

"how?"

"..."

It feels very silky and soft to the touch, but Lin Shen has never touched this thing before, so there is no comparison.

But of course he couldn't just say that, so he just replied.

"I need to make sure of the other clothes."

"No problem. We have both men's and women's clothes."

Lin Shen went to find a coat and tried the feel.

Then he lost consciousness for a moment.

What the saleswoman said was right, the feel is really different.

It is obvious that the clothes he is wearing are of a different grade.

The clothes Lin Shen was wearing were not of particularly low quality, they were just ordinary clothes that ordinary people would wear.

...The results are totally incomparable.

As expected, the poor cannot imagine the life of the rich, no matter in which world or era.

The poor and the rich are in two different worlds.

Lin Shen took a look at the prices of these clothes.

Ok……

There's nothing wrong with buying a few.

But if he wanted to buy a large number, he would not be able to afford it with his current wealth.

After all, I still have to find a way to make money.

The thoughts in my mind are fleeting.

"Then just buy a few."

Lin Shen glanced at Glasgow and Lafite.

"grid--"

"Okay, then what kind of styles do you like? We have everything here. Although we don't have special uniforms, such as maid uniforms or anything else, we have a full range of general dress styles."

The female clerk's words made Lin Shen react.

The commander does not need to ask the replica's opinion.

"Please recommend me one, something normal will do."

"Okay, this way please~"

"Glasgow, Rafi, if you two like anything, just tell me directly in the soul network. Pick a few at random. After I go back, I will take you and McCall to the clothing store again."

Glasgow: "Commander...are you sure the price of these clothes is okay?"

Rafi: “…It’s so expensive.”

Although the concept of money has not been established in Rafi's mind.

However, by comparing the prices of the large amount of food before, she could also know what range these clothes were in.

In short, they are all luxury goods.

Any item starts at two hundred Singapore dollars.

What kind of concept is this?

The minimum basic salary for a person working normally in a safe zone for one month is 400 Singapore dollars.

It’s not much, but it’s enough to live on.

"No problem. I still have money for a few items. I have a lot of spare money now. Anyway, money is earned to be spent, so you two don't have to be polite. To be honest, this money was earned by you for me."

Glasgow: “Okay…”

Rafi: “…”

Glasgow does have its own favourite styles.

But Lafite is very casual.

She followed Lin Shen listlessly.

Lin Shen followed behind the female clerk.

After a quick look around, the female clerk began to measure the body data of Glasgow and Lafite.

Then the two of them walked into the locker room under Lin Shen's instructions.
